It could also be excess grease flyjng off the driveshaft when in 4wd and hitting the exhaust causing the burning smell.

I just installed the Philips 30mm festoon bulb in the 2nd row/rear dome light. Be careful when/if you install because the Philips bulb is a little longer than the stock bulb but will fit because it just pushes the metal clip back more. Same applies for the rear cargo door bulbs.

This is exactly what happens to me in my 2015 TEP. Never happened to me in my 2004 SR5.

I have this issue on my 2015 TEP. Greased the fittings as they were dry as a bone (dealership supppsedly did 5k & 10k service). Went away away for a while but has come back recently. Does anyone else have this problem on 2014 or newer units?

I had this same problem from the day I took delivery. At first I thought that it was the plastic cover that hides the blower motor. Ended up taking to dealer and was able to get the service manager to hear the noise. He looked underneath the dash after taking off the cover, and he ended up...

Old school tried and true & not too fancy. That's why I bought one after seriously considering a Jeep GC. Don't ever do any off roading other than the occasional hunting trip and visiting construction jobsites for work.

I have a 2015 TEP w/5,000 miles on it and have the same problem. I hear a rattling/vibration coming from the passenger side floor area. It happens at sometimes at idle and almost all the time cruising at around 40mph (1,100-1,200 rpm). I guess I will check the passenger door speaker. Does...

I had the dealer instal the OEM remote start when I purchased mt new TEP. Glad I had the dealer install because there was a problem during install. The ckmputer in the steering column would not recognize the remote start during thus not letting the vehicle start. The dealer ended up changing...

Just picked up my second 4 runner and am also in Chicago area. Not too many people on here from Chicago, plus I have never seen any with any siginificant mods in the area.

Ok I will give it some more time to learn me and me learn it. Is it normal though to stay at 1100 rpms when crusing at 40mph? I can tell that it's in 5th gear but the rpms feel too low, especially when you try to punch it to catch a light or pass someone.

How long does it take to "learn" your driving style? I have had my '15 TEP for two weeks tomorrow and the pedal issue is a little annoying, especially since at 40mph, the tranny sits at 1100rpm (is that normal?)?

Thanks for the info. Wife went out to the garage to have a cigarette and came and told me about the noise. Skimmed thr owners manual with no luck, but found the answer here.

Just ordered Husky weatherbeaters for my 2015 TEP. Have husky liners (original design) in my 2004 4Runner and dad's 2000 Dodge Ram 2500. Have had them for over 10 years in each and have never had a problem, so that is why I went with Husky again unfortunately they only offer the weatherbeaters...
